Correct answer & explanation
✓
Design access layer with VLANs and port security
The correct order begins with implementing the core layer to establish high-speed backbone switching. Next, connect WAN edge routers for remote site access, followed by verifying end-to-end connectivity and redundancy to ensure the infrastructure works before adding edge services. Then, design the access layer with VLANs and port security, and finally configure the distribution layer for inter-VLAN routing. This sequence ensures the foundational transport is in place before adding user-facing and aggregation services.
